God’s Provision

“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing” (Psalm 34:10 KJV). All of God’s children must find their lack to be supplied by God, or trust something else to provide for our existence. “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God” (20:7). Whom we trust must be able to fulfill all our needs. “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). 

We are more than animals in God’s creation. Survival of the fittest discounts God as our Creator and Sustainer. Our failure results when we trust the flesh and not the Spirit. “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). Though we have the agency to obey and do all that is commanded of us, we must not trust in our flesh to accomplish God’s will. We must continually seek God’s Spirit to function within us to fulfill all the will of God. “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (5:25). 

Father, cause us to trust in You for all our provision. May we keep our eyes on Jesus, so we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Cause us to walk in Your Spirit until You come for us. Lord Jesus, return quickly. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
